Larry, our prayers are with you now and always. Even though we didn't know Mattie very well, she had to be a wonderful woman to have a son like you and a beautiful granddaughter, Stacy. Know she is with her maker and her memories will always be there in your heart. We love you both,

I've known Matt since the first day the two of us started to work at the phone company. We trained together and became good friends. I haven't seen her in a while but I will miss her.

Dear Aunt Matt, you welcomed me into this wonderful family with open arms and through your example showed me how to be a strong woman. You will always be a part of me and I will love you forever.
Your niece,
